I’ve just this minute finished reading the book and am impressed to find it is translated by the woman who as a girl was Durga in Satyajit Ray’s “Panther Panchali”. Excellent to know she went on to do such things, since so many will have grieved for her on screen demise. Well, I did – and defy anyone to not shed a tear at the end of the first time they watch that film. This feels like a reprieve of sorts. – her name is Shampa Banerjee. Long life.
